Marki is in Origin.

Marki is a modern, largely English-language given name functioning as a diminutive and creative spelling of Mark, from the Latin praenomen Marcus. It appears as a unisex choice in contemporary records, often adopted from a nickname. The underlying meaning follows Marcus: "dedicated to Mars," the Roman god of war, hence "warlike" or "of Mars."

Marcus was widespread in ancient Rome and, through Saint Mark the Evangelist, the Mark/Marc forms became enduring in Christian Europe. While Marki itself is rare, it aligns with international variants of the root: Mark (English), Marc (French/Catalan), Marcus (Latin/Scandinavian), Markus (German/Scandinavian), Marco (Italian/Spanish/Portuguese), Marcos (Spanish/Portuguese), Marko (Slavic), Márk (Hungarian), and Marek (Polish). Common diminutive or orthographic variants include Markie and Marky; related feminine forms from the same Latin root include Marcia. As a modern given name, Marki fits the trend of brisk, vowel-ending forms used independently of the traditional full name.
